UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfil their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job – it is a calling. UNICEF is a place where careers are built: we offer our staff diverse opportunities for personal and professional development that will help them develop a fulfilling career while delivering on a rewarding mission. We pride ourselves on a culture that helps staff thrive, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits package. Visit our website (https://www.unicef.org/) to learn more about what we do at UNICEF.

At the core of UNICEF’s universal mandate is our commitment to protect and uphold the rights enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) for all children – without discrimination and without leaving any child behind. The rights enshrined in the CRC apply equally to all children in a country, including children who are non-nationals or stateless, refugee and international migrant children. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education, social protection, and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged residents — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfil their potential, but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. A dedicated focus on children on the move is critical to meet the SDGs commitment to leave no one behind. UNICEF’s Strategic Plan (2022-2025) reflects children on the move across Goal Areas and as an important cross-cutting priority, supporting global commitments such as the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and Global Compact on Refugees. The Strategic Plan commits UNICEF to a renewed focus on inclusion of children on the move into education, child protection and social protection systems to tackle root causes for forced displacement or unsafe migration, discrimination and exclusion.

The Youth on the Move UNV Programme was designed by UNICEF in collaboration with UNV to provide refugee, displaced and migrant youth between the ages of 20-32, who face learning to earning barriers, with a paid 12-months volunteer opportunity.

Context

East Asia and the Pacific is the region most affected by disasters worldwide and with the most weather-related child displacements in absolute numbers globally. Climate-exacerbated weather events have increased six-fold in East Asia and the Pacific over the past 50 years. In 2023, the region experienced large-scale storms, floods, droughts, wildfires, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, as well as human-induced emergencies such as armed conflict. Children are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of these events as the closure of child-critical services – including education, health, social protection and child protection – puts their health, well-being and futures at risk. UNICEF East Asia and Pacific Regional Office (EAPRO) works with 14 country offices, government counterparts, UN agencies and partners to ensure effective emergency preparedness and response for children facing humanitarian crises across the region. The Regional Office provides technical expertise to strengthen systems for child-sensitive and child-inclusive humanitarian action in line with the Core Commitments for Children in Humanitarian Action and to enhance regional capacity for child-centered disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.

Task Description

Under the direct supervision of the Regional Emergency Specialist and with guidance from relevant Humanitarian Action and Disaster Risk Reduction team members, the UN Volunteer will undertake the following tasks:
